If that Land Rover had been sold in EU27 it would have had Intelligent Speed Assistance limiting the speed to the limit of 20mph. The mandatory fitment of ISA which UK gov campaigned for when in EU was dropped by UK gov for cars sold in UK. This is one of the consequences.

1,200 children are killed/injured within 500 metres of a school *every month* in the UK. Time to ban the motorised school run & prioritise active modes.

Enough is enough. That would be pretty much the entire reason I report bad driving and why I'm willing to go to court at considerable disruption to my life. It's why I'm willing to work late to make up that wasted court time when I have to.
Today people in Birmingham came together to say "Enough is Enough". Four people have been killed on our roads in the last month, two of whom have been children. Last week a child and their older sibling were run over on their way to school. @for_birmingham is demanding action
There’s something about riding my Devote gravel bike that is just really therapeutic. Being off road, immersed in nature. After a week of juggling full time work & a chicken pox child has almost finished me off so off to nature (and get this Mum a big coffee) we go #livcyclinguk

Today is #WorldBicycleDay. 🚲💙
Whether you go by bike, trike or non-standard cycle, cycling has the power to change lives and save the planet.
Next week (5-11 June) is #BikeWeek100 and an opportunity to highlight the amazing benefits that cycling can bring everyone!
This bike has literally been life changing, getting the boys by bike and ditching the car. We all have way more fun too ☺️ just hope #tmbc can invest in safer cycle infrastructure. I’m here for the #A26cycleway

Happy Valentines to my partner in crime. Can’t wait to ride up mountains again with you with baguettes in our cycling jerseys 💕 #livcommitted #livcyclinguk #livcycling

One of these vehicles costs £170,000, weighs 2,200kg and emits around 325g of CO2 per km travelled.
The other costs about £250, emits no CO2 and is able to travel at the same speed in cities. It is, according to some commentators, a mode of transport for the metropolitan elite.
